DGF Novelization: Chapter 12 by: Ray Doss Jake looked up at the imploding ship and breathed again. He pushed his communicator's switch, "Frag, the Guardian cruiser has been taken out. We're out of danger." Jake didn't turn as he felt a presence behind him. "Correction, we're not out of the woods yet." Sean held a gun a few feet from the back of Jake's head. "Turn around slowly criminal and I may allow you to keep that head of yours before I turn you in." Raising his hands in the air, Jake turned slowly to face Sean. "So, you are the one the Supreme Guardians sent to bring me in. It figures they'd send a boob like you to try." Sean's eyes flared in anger at this comment. "Gabriels, you know I was the better student than you or Aruva. It should have been me named as the new Supreme Guardian, not you. Hehehehe, it will be nice to see you thrown in the slammer. I may get a medal for bringing in Fragraham Lincon and JT Macleod as well." Jake rolled his eyes, "All I remember you being is an arrogant SOB will minimal talent and a lust for power. Which is why the Supreme Guardians chose you. They knew you'd take the job for either the chance to get a new rank or to one-up me. Did you ever consider the fact that you may not be able to take on three well trained and well armed opponents at once?" Sean smiled, "You've been away too long, Gabriels, the DGF has new equipment for challenging multiple opponents. Armor: Battle Mode!" The armor on Sean began to morph and shift, out of his backpack came two rocket launchers on his shoulders, two gatlings at his hips, stensile missles on his upper-arms, and four gatlings at each wrist. "Oh, shite!" Frag and Mac got on top of the ship just as Sean's armor fully formed. "Jake, who is this clown?" Jake yelled back, "He's a two bit Guardian the Supreme Guardian Council sent to bring me back, his only real talent is his lust for power. He will try to kill us or take us back to the Nexus Central Command. One or the other." Sean motioned with his hands that they should all get in the ship. "Don't try anything funny, and I may let you all live. But please, don't be smart on my account," Sean added with an evil grin. Jake was thinking fast, he knew Sean would try anything to get a promotion, including kill. But, he was also not dumb enough to try to cross the Supreme Guardians. Sean's cheeck was beggining to quiver, so Jake moved on reaction. "HEY, DUMBUT! TRY AND HIT ME!!" Sean instanlty turned all his weaponry on Jake, and lauched it all at once. As the bullets and rockets approached Jake, he realized that he was about to die, but, maybe Mac and Frag could subdue Sean and get out. Then an idea hit him, "If both times I transformed I got really angry, that may be the means for me to transform again..." But before Jake could think anymore, a bullet punctured his arm. The searing pain in the wound was more than he could take, within seconds his rage peaked and he screamed out in agony, "I AM THE CHOSEN ONE!" Time seemed to slow around Jake, and he felt his body being pulled back, then left, right, over, under, around. Then he realized he was dodging the bullets on instinct. As his back approached the ground, his hands shot out beneath him and his muscles tensed as he felt his body launch up in the air, avoiding the rest of the bullets around him. The others looked on in awe at his speed, but Sean snapped out of his and launched his remainging missles at Jake. "Dodge these loser! Heat, cold, and vortex seeking. You'll never escape them!!" Frag and Mac nodded at that comment, givin his power, Jake wouldn't have to. The missles continued their approach, but stopped in the middle of the air. They slowly began to point back at Sean, then moved foreward. Jake continued to telekenitically accelerate the warheads while Sean tried to move, but he couldn't. Jake was holding him in place! "Please, have mercy on me, oh high and mighty Chosen One." The missles stopped, and Jake answered, "You, who are without mercy, now plead for it? I thought you were made of sterner stuff. You will not be sparred for your injustice." Jake released the weapons and let them continue their path at Sean, but a half inch in front of his nose a portal appeared and the missles entered the Vortex. "Sean, now do you see? I have absolute power. You and your Supreme Guardians are nothing to me. I let you live to show you that I am not this tyrant that they make me out to be. They are the tyrants. I am destined to rule the Dimensional Guardian Force, and lead it to victory over the Destroyers. Now, you have a choice before you, you can join us, and liberate the Force, or you can return to your masters and tell them I am comming for them. But, I can't let you leave now. So, your comming with us." Jake portaled Sean's restraints to him and recoded them for his high vortex signature. After Sean had been bound and thrown in the ship; Jake, Mac, and Frag boarded. "Frag, pilot. Mac, Co-pilot, I'll navigate." Frag objected immediatly. "I'm the captain of this ship, so I'll give the orders." Jake shrugged and ushered Frag to continue. "Uh, okay. I'll pilot. Mac, you're co-pilot, and Jake, navigate." Mac tried his best not to laugh, but a snicker did come out as he took his chair. "Okay, kid, start working on some..." "Go to point 18973084 alpha, turn 87 degrees starboard/ 12 bow foreward. Hit point 68709723, open a portal, then we'll go from there." Mac and Frag both turned and stared, the navigational equipment hadn't even booted up yet, and here Jake was spouting them exact directions that the computer noted as valid, and good. Sean looked around the back of the ship. "I've got to get out of here and warn the Supreme Guardians. If Gabriels takes over the Force, I'll never get promoted!" But try as he might, he could not get the restraints to even loosen. "Oh, great. Now i get to sit and watch as my life goes down the drain.
